Weird Nature — Marvelous Motion
 

Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 2:00 PM
Beckman Auditorium
$5 (unreserved seating)

 

Presented By: Caltech Committee on Institute Programs

Biologically speaking, walking on two legs is very weird. To go faster and more efficiently, humans use almost any other alternative. Innovative camera techniques reveal animals moving in extraordinary ways. Caterpillars become wheels, a salamander transforms itself into a rubber tire for a fast getaway and bushbabies bounce. Even snakes can fly! [A John Downer production for BBC and Discovery Channel]

Noah Duffy of Caltech's Division of Chemistry will introduce the film and guide the post-screening discussion.

Items on related topics will be on sale by Usborne Books.

This event is made possible through Caltech's participation in the CineMuse Network.

Recommended for ages 8 and up.
